An army statement said: "A special committee led by the Israel Defence Forces Chief Rabbi, announced the death of the IDF infantry officer of the Givati Brigade, Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, who was killed in battle in the Gaza Strip on Friday, August 1, 2014."

Israel had said that Goldin – who is believed to have lived in Britain for a time – was seized by Hamas fighters less than two hours after the start of a supposed three-day humanitarian truce.

Hamas denied the claims.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said: "We lost contact with the group who made the suicide mission near Rafah after it was done.

"We believe everyone in this group was killed by an Israeli air strike including the Israeli soldier who the Israelis are talking about having disappeared."

Meanwhile the Israeli Prime Minister has vowed to continue the Gaza operation.

Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that the Israeli military's operations in Gaza would continue until its objectives of the "restoration of quiet" for the citizens of Israel.

As of late Saturday, Gaza health ministry officials reported that the death toll has now risen 1,712 Palestinians. Among those killed 398 were children, 207 women and 74 elderly.
